Recently, the pageant rumour mill started to go into (silent) overdrive with talks about the country’s representative to Miss Grand International 2021 heading to a different direction.
You see, most everyone is already expecting that Bb. Pilipinas Grand International 2019 Aya Abesamis will carry the Philippine colors in Thailand next month. Preparations of her team have been steady despite of no confirmations being given, even as early as the time of The Miss Globe last November, 2020 when BPCI opted out of sending any of its titleholder.
This time, little birds are chirping that – because of age – Aya is no longer qualified to participate in Miss Grand International. She is 28 turning 29 this year. As a result, the talks are saying that Samantha Bernardo (who was Bb. Pilipinas 2019 runner-up) will be our representative instead.
If that is confirmed true anytime soon, then Samantha will need to resign as Binibini 13 of the current edition before she can officially become Miss Grand Philippines.
Let us see how these rumors will compare to any kind of announcements between this week and next.
All I can say is that Aya will be gutted – devastated even – with such developments if confirmed.
Why did Aya not go to Miss Globe? She would done so well there!
*have done
Sana wala ng asaran ang pangit na words just to emphasize a point.
SamBer is a good choice for MGI if ever Aya is not qualified. Sayang si Aya, sana sya na lang pinadala sa MGI nung 2019 instead of SamLo.
I am sure, SamBer will do good in MGI as well. Experience wise she’s more than ready.
Dindi Pajares?
Sam has a very very good chance of winning Miss Grand 2020-21!!!
Will they replace bbp 2 (lady who went to Ms globe)or bbp 13 if ever Sam goes mgi
I support Samantha Bernardo if ever she becomes Miss Grand Philippines… She has what it takes to win that Pageant… I already know she would nail the swimsuit and evening gown…. just practice on the speech.. and I siggest she wear a bigger grander version of her Sarimanok warrior costume…. I love that her wings turn into fans… that was a stroke of Genius… some figure 8 fan dance moves like a modernized Singkil would have us all gagging!!!! I know she can pull it off and make it to the TOP 5 & possibly win!
@ Closer2Fame “Tandikan Princess” it was, po. 🙂
Polyplectron napoleonis. But, they made it multi-colored instead of just black-and-blue like what Jessarie Dumaguing’s was… I agree it was a brilliant move. The reds and golds were WOW-LOVE.
They can retain that bird since maganda naman across-the-board ang reception sa faneys nu’ng NatCos performance. At, kulang na rin sa oras to make a new costume. I-edit na lang nila for more comfort on Sam’s part, para mas todo-bigay ang bayle niya!
If she get the go signal. pretty sure ung natcos na nya ngayon ang gagamitin sa mgi. and then ung bbp supposed gown nya baka un na din. sana grand ang EG nya. mostly kasi pang national level lang gown nya.
@ jed OMGawsh. The “Pearl” NatCos? Y-U-C-K-Y. 😦
I’d rather that white sheer Filipiniana with parasol on her first BBP stint.
(If I had a choice and the means, I would commission ASAVA to make all her evening dresses!)
Sam B could have won Supra or MGI in 2018
I think Sam B can win Grand
I can see her getting along well with Nawat
Pareho silang bading
Sam should get a clue from her performance at Ever Bilena event . That’s how she should perform at Grand
Cut out the irap irap
Just smile
I wish to see Aya at Grand
But if she’s not qualified , Sam B would be a great alternative. Basta approach nya a ala-Cat na all smiles at pangbida ang peg , Hindi pang-kontrabida.
Had she smiled more Ala-Cat in 2019, she could have gotten The MUP or MI crown
Whoevah… whatevah!
It is good to expect. Let everyone here be harbinger of hope. If MGI is meant for Aya, then thank you and let it be. If it is meant for Sam, then thank you also. I know Sam will do well in the competetion. I just hope Nawat will not be strict with age requirement due to pandemic. Aya is more than prepared to compete. Sam should be ready anytime, in case Aya cannot compete. I am happy enough that Aya became a crowned Binibini. If she can compete, that will be a cherry on the cake.
Correction: has become instead became
OMG. Sino ba Ang may kasalanan na inasign Kay Miss Aya Ang MGI pero technically ay disqualified pala sya bcoz of her age. SINOOOOOOO!
Kawawa nman c Miss Aya at pinaasa. Kayang kaya pa nman nyang ilampaso Ang ibang mga kandidata😱
I support Samantha Bernardo kung siya man ang napili na ipadala sa MGI. Beterana na yan at give her a chance. Sana lang after February 21 pa mag-announce ang BPCI…pero nagttraining na si Sam. Mercury Retrograde kasi. ✌
I do understand that bbp cant decide yet if magpapadala sila or not. But they should announce who will be send if ever mag send sila o kahit hinde so in that way people will know who will they hype or not. especially aya. yes base sa mgi requirement over age na sya but they still need to announce who will be send para mas klaro kahit sa tanong na sino. so ang aabangan nalang ay kung ipapadala ba o hinde. aya has so much recent pics that made her fans or even her assume and others that shes the one who will represent Philippines in MGI kahit alam nila natin na over age na sya pero umaasa na baka bigyan ng consideration. i bet they already asked consideration months ago kay angkol at may sagot na yan kung e allow ba si aya o hinde.
who ever will be send dapat inform na nila ang ipapadala para naman makapag training pa. gowns pa. people asked aya’s sides and even sam was asked by fans and both sides response they didnt know kung sino. but during sams ig question and answer video. may sinabi yata sya na she want to win our ist MGI which made me think na baka sya na nga since dapat mgi ph muna dapat nya ipanalo na sagot. But technically if aya is out. she is eligible as our rep for mgi on march she is just 27 during mgi pageant on march. she just need to resign as bbp candidate.
But if sam said no! or shes not eligible for other reasos. I think they should pick in 2019 titlist since pwede din naman and i choose emma tiglao
Sumakit ulo ko sa dami ng “to be send”. Lol.
World Peace.
haha kahit ako din 😂.
hahaaha shady queen
@ jed Emma is already working at Eagle Broadcasting Company (?) as a News Anchor.
Resham, I have not heard anything from her lately…
OR, why not Gazini again? 🙂
(Or, baka gusto ni Atty. P mas maaga mag-second attempt… I’m sure Angkol will like her.)
Tagalugin mo nalang kaya… non send ka!… SENT
Samantha Bernardo is pageant-patty… The make-up, the walk, the memorized answers, the hair, everything!!! TATAK KF!
Ano ang magawa mo kung si Sam B ang ipadadala ng BPCI? WALA! IDIOT!
Wala ka rin magagawa kung si Aya ipadala. MORE Idiot!!! Ay, gawin natin MOST PINAKA IdiotEST! Triple superlative, pero hindi pa rin enough to describe you. Pwe.
Hahahaaha
Kuhang kuha mo
Basta KF, flop!
Baduy
D ako nanonood ng mga KF people
Kahit sino pa
True. Ang baduy ng KF, lalo na sa memorized Q&A. Pati mga OA na lakad na sa barangay pageant mo lang makikita, kalevel ng kacheapan ng MGThailand (best example: Samantha Bernardo).

Anyway, I think His Dear Sweetness appreciates pageant patty. MGT is strong evidence of this.

FLOR yan ang sinabi ko sa inyong (mga) gagang-gagang dyan kay Aya Abesamis at uulitin ko – DON’T GET TOO EXCITED for Aya because NOTHING has been CONFIRMED YET. So ano ngayon?
ASIDE from the AGE requirement, I THINK Angkol saw a LOT of UGLY PHOTOS of Aya Abesamis posted online (including the ones by Norman). FEELING KO HINDI TALAGA TYPE ni Angkol ang facial beauty niya BECAUSE IT’S SO ORDINARLY in the ENTIRE Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Secondly, FEELING ko rin HINDI TYPE ni Angkol ang personality ni Aya na reserved, shy, timid, etc. Sabi mo nga FLOR – composed & professional. In other words, BORING.
FURTHER, I THINK Angkol likes Samantha Bernardo because SHE has that LATINA VIBES – SEXY BODY, FACIAL BEAUTY & PERSONALITY (bubbly, arte-arte, dramatista).
DAPAT KASI sa Miss GLOBE IPINADALA ng BPCI si Aya. ANOTHER WRONG DECISION by that organization. Well, I AM HAPPY for SAMANTHA BERNARDO BECAUSE SHE DESERVES IT MORE THAN AYA. MAGALIT NA KAYONG LAHAT SA AKIN. O sya GOOD NIGHT to ALL.
Samantha Bernardo deserves it over Aya Abesamis? HAHAHAHAH. Wala ka talagang taste ever since.
IDIOT!
ERRATA: (1) gagang-gaga; (2) ordinary; and (3) In other word,
Paula mali pa rin ang grammar mo… in other words. Mag premium grammarly ka Ineng.
Why does age seem to be an issue? If you are competing or planning to compete, you should know such basic rules!
Isa din sa rumor mill na usapan sa FB,
Personal request daw ni Vakla si Sam B!
Bastos talaga may-ari ng pageant na yan!
Last year, pinayagan pa rin niya si SamLo na mag-wear ng Philippine sash kahit walang basbas ng Binibini! This year although wala pang confirmation, lulurakan nanaman niya isang pa candidate! Tapos pag dating sa pageant activities gagamitin nanaman niya yung candidate para mapag-usapan pageant niya tulad ng ginawa niya kay Eva pero ne semi-finalist hindi niya papapasukin kahit na maganda performance! Hayup!
‘Di po ba ay 17 March ang Final (though a few weeks earlier, start na) ni Angkol? Kailan po ba birthday ni Aya?
Shucks! Parang franchise rate dispute; Angkol is asking for more, and BPCI responds by sending the lower-ranked queen to quash his request (a’ la Natasha Joubert at MU)? Isn’t Sam B also turning 29 this year? Sino sa kanila ni Aya ang mauuna’ng “sumagad sa kisame (kalendaryo)”?
😦
(Or, is this, GASP, KF being favored over A&Q? And after KF effectively disenfranchised BPCI by sending Rowee* to Albania? Never mind that Deliart Association approached KF formally…)
* – Disclaimer. I am not against Rowee. I am questioning the bosses. After all, nothing happens without their blessings. Rowee did GREAT. I was monitoring the pageant. She DELIVERED. 🙂
My understanding is that Samantha is 27 going 28, while Aya is 28 going 29. Both of their birthdates are in the first half of November.
sir norman. parang 28 na si sam ngayon. may post sya sa ig last year nov in the caption she said 28th. and then i checked bbp website 27 sya don diba noon pa nilagay yon before the pandemic so meaning to say nag 28 na sya last nov. if this true na 28 and speaking of consideration from angkol i think mas may chance si sam than aya. But if ayaw din ni angkol kay sam dahil over age na. sa 2019 titlist sila kukuha if mag papadala sila. runner ups from 2016 until 2019 ay hinde na pwede. if im not mistake Charmaine elima is also a runner up during 2017? anong age na sya? pati ung isa pang runner up that time guelos surname na diba? if hinde na din pwede. sa 2019 titlist talaga ang last option. @Flor tutal gusto ni angkol ng fit and right. okay go for patch.
@ Norman Iba talaga ‘pag ang naghatid ng balita, mga “little birds” (chirping).
Dapat ‘ata, Big Bird. Parang ‘yun’g mabait na kulay dilaw sa Sesame Street dati.
🙂
(Kaya, big birds ang piliin niyo nina MamaRu at Rappler V ‘pag MrWP na ang i-scre-screen. lolz)

All I can say is that the author of this blog will be gutted – – devastated even – with such developments if confirmed. =)
World Peace.
True. Na preempt lahat dahil sa mga unnecessary write ups about sa supposed assignment ni Aya. Hinde na lang mg hintay ng assignment. Now it added more
insult to the injury. Halos ima-kaawa na na ipdala si Aya. Why cant just the blogger wait, ayan tuloy
